The following is a comment on the 10am service only. The 6pm service was a Youth Takeover Service, run by the Youth ministry. It was a great service, and the worship team is reaping the benefits from this team, for sure!

Show Me Your Ways
This week marked the start of a new sermon series: Txt : me. This week is "All Scripture is God Breathed and Useful" from 2 Timothy 3:16-17. The words up on the wall worked well, I thought. And that with the item (beautifully presented) and the video about using the Bible really enhanced the whole theme.
Song-wise, what a great choice. I felt that using the congregation to sing without the musicians "Jesus Messiah" made the congregation really "own" the words, that is it connected at that point. Great leading by the worship leader.
I was really happy with the music worship overall, I thought the band sounded full, you played the songs well, and the vocals were also full.
A couple of suggestions that I made on the morning I'd like to remind you again. First, watch the sound of the acoustic guitar. In that ensemble it is really a mid-voice and needs to be mellow and rich rather than bright in sound. And watch the position of the mics, I think they need to be closer to your lips to receive the signal. There was feedback problems because they were too quiet. And be aware of how to link the songs together. Silence between the songs really kill the atmosphere. All you need is to have the guitar, keys or piano mask the sound before someone else starts the next song.
Having said all that, they are only little points, and all in all it worked well.
I must say that the tech side of things were just great. Thanks for the positive attitude when someone (that is ME) didn't mention that there was an item and you had to do some last minute scrambling. Apologies for that. Over the last year the linking between the music team and the tech team really are forging well, and I think we can see the fruits of that. So thanks, you are just as important in the worship team as the up front guys.
Blessings to you, have a great week

I know the Youth service is not mentioned here. And I was not there for most of it but I got there in time for " I can only Imagine" it was such a wonderfully lead part of the worship. I'm sure the rest was equally as good but I can not comment on that.
